This podcast is built for anyone chasing growth through endurance — whether you’re just getting started or already deep in the grind.
We’re two brothers sharing what it’s like to train for 100-mile races, compete in Hyrox, and build a lifestyle around showing up, pushing limits, and getting better every day.
This isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about who you become when you commit to something hard — and stick with it.
We live by one motto:
Put points on the board.
Every day you show up, you grow.
Let’s grow and get better together.

Episode 9: Knowing When to Say When, Building with the Right People, & Speaking When It Counts
In this epsiode, we go deep on three questions that every ambitious man wrestles with—but rarely talks about out loud.When are you being soft… and when are you making a smart call?We break down the difference between pushing through resistance and recognizing when you're actually just running on empty. Not every “off” day is weakness—and not every decision to pull back is wisdom.Are your relationships fueling your mission or slowing you down?The world keeps telling us that relationships are a distraction. We think that’s bulls***. The right partner will challenge you, sharpen you, and multiply the mission—not pull from it.When should men speak up—and when should they sit with it?Vulnerability is a buzzword now, but we think timing and intention matter. This isn’t about emotional dumping. It’s about learning how to process, then speak truth that actually lands.

Episode 7: Where We Find Validation & The Path to Crashing Out
This podcast episode, The Shift in Validation & The Path to Achievement, explores how our need for validation evolves over time, especially in entrepreneurship. Early in life, external validation from coaches, teachers, and peers drives motivation, but it can also become a limitation. As individuals transition into entrepreneurship, the absence of external praise forces them to develop self-accountability, set their own goals, and find fulfillment in discipline and small wins. The journey of building something significant comes with an emotional rollercoaster—starting with uninformed optimism, facing harsh realities, and eventually pushing through informed pessimism to achieve success. Reaching milestones brings immense satisfaction, but true success comes from recognizing and validating oneself rather than seeking approval from others. The episode encourages listeners to embrace challenges, stay mentally tough, and find fulfillment in the process rather than just the outcome.
In this episode, we go over how we deal mentally with injuries, setbacks, etc.
We talk the Nova Effect, how to track your progress more efficiently with a coach or training app, and how we reframe our struggles with gratitude.

Episode 1: Committing Without Guarantee, Dropping Out of College, and Opening Our First Store
We’re just getting started, and this podcast is a way for us to share what we’re learning as young intrapreneurs and part-owners in the supplement retail industry. We’re not running the show entirely, but we’ve been given an incredible opportunity to step into a leadership role, build something we’re proud of, and learn how to navigate the challenges of business.
We’ve both made some big decisions to get here—like leaving chiropractic school and dropping out of college— we’ve realized the value of stepping out of our comfort zones. Whether it’s taking on 75 Hard, training for a 100-mile race, or figuring out how to be effective leaders, it’s all about growth.
This podcast isn’t about acting like we’ve got it all figured out. It’s about building a community of like-minded young entrepreneurs who care about business, endurance, and pushing limits. If you’re on a similar path or want to hear some honest conversations about what we’re learning, this is for you.
Follow along and join the conversation. Let’s grow together and put points on the board...
